Abstract
Laboratory investigations are an essential part in every work-up of primary myopathies and the results must be interpreted within the whole clinical context. The laboratory work-up should be arranged stepwise, beginning with basic screening measurements before more expensive special investigations including muscle biopsies or molecular genetic studies are undertaken. In this article the laboratory investigations for the group of immune-mediated myositis and metabolic myopathies are presented in detail. The laboratory tests for neuromyotonia, stiff person syndrome and neuromuscular transmission defects are also described. These disorders often present with clinical symptoms resembling those of primary myopathies.
